What is Firewall as a Service?

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) is a next-generation secure internet gateway in Azure, providing customers with a secure internet connection for their private network traffic and comprehensive network security for users and services. FWaaS offers Azure-based businesses a significantly more cost-effective alternative to access market-leading cloud firewall protection. Hosted in Microsoft’s Azure datacentres, FWaaS is a scalable solution capable of servicing a broad range of businesses regardless of size or requirements and without compromising on availability. FWaaS integrates seamlessly with major cloud and on premises infrastructure vendors, ensuring robust security for both cloud environments and on-premises traffic.

Scalability

Cloud-based
Easily scalable to accommodate growing network traffic including new applications without the need for additional hardware.
On-premise
Scaling a traditional firewall requires purchasing and configuring new hardware, which can be time-consuming and costly.

Cost-efficiency

Cloud-based
Operating on a subscription model, a cloud firewall service eliminates the need for large upfront capital investments. It also reduces ongoing infrastructure maintenance costs.
On-premise
Requires significant upfront investment in hardware and ongoing costs for maintenance, updates, and potential refreshes.

Availability and performance

Cloud-based
Provides the highest levels of availability, resilience and performance with always-on firewalls and congestion-free high-capacity network links.
On-premise
Requires cost-prohibitive resources to replicate the same levels of availability, resilience and performance.

Automatic updates and patching

Cloud-based
Security updates and patches are automatically applied by the Firewall as a Service provider, ensuring the firewall is always up to date.
On-premise
 IT staff must manually manage updates and patches which can lead to delays and vulnerabilities.

Flexibility and innovation

Cloud-based
Firewall as a Service providers frequently update their offerings with new features and capabilities, letting organisations adopt new technologies quickly through a managed firewall service.
On-premise
Innovations require manual upgrades and additional purchases, which can delay adoption of new features.

Global reach

Cloud-based
A cloud-based firewall service provides consistent security across global locations, making it easier to manage security for growing multinational operations.
On-premise
Requires deployment of multiple physical firewalls in different locations, each needing separate management and maintenance.

Resource allocation

Cloud-based
Frees up IT resources to focus on other critical areas of the business rather than maintaining and managing firewalls, especially with a fully managed FWaaS.
On-premise
IT staff must dedicate time to managing and maintaining firewall hardware and software.

Why we choose to work with Palo Alto Networks

When only the best will do, we chose to create FWaaS using Palo Alto’s next-generation Firewall.

Palo Alto Networks® next-generation firewalls detect known and unknown threats, including encrypted traffic, using intelligence generated across many thousands of customer deployments. That means they reduce risks and prevent a broad range of attacks.

Quickly create security rules that mirror business policy, are easy to maintain and adapt to your dynamic environment. Reduce response times with automated policy-based actions and automate workflows via integration with administrative tools such as ticketing services or any system with a RESTful API.
